About Us

Automated Paint Processing Technology (APPT) was established to fulfill a need for speciality products and services in the African automotive manufacturing industry and other industrial manufactures.

Our Story

PGI non-wovens appointed APPT as the sole distributor of the Chicopee range of low linting, silicone-free wiping cloths to African automotive manufacturers and other industrial manufactures.

PGI non-wovens is a global company with 25 manufacturing facilities all around the world. Together with the European Motor Manufacturers, PGI non-wovens developed the Chicopee range of speciality wiping cloths to meet the challenges of new water and powder based paint technology as well as the increased quality requirements of the Global Automotive market.

The Chicopee product range is globally approved and is used by most paint shops and by all major European motor manufacturers.

The cloths are manufactured to strict quality standards at the factory in Cuijk in the Netherlands, and are supplied in sealed packs from the factory, to ensure that the customer receives the cloths free of dirt and contamination.

APPT was appointed as an official distributor of the Industrial range of wiping cloths in 2003. A need was identified to provide similar high-quality products and services for the food manufacturing, industrial manufacturing and commercial cleaning sectors at competitive prices, therefore the formation of Techniwipes. We specialise in high quality colour-coded non-woven hygiene wipes. All our products are backed by competent personnel who provide excellent knowledge and experience which will assist our customers in achieving their cleaning objectives.
